The seed was the hash of the first block seen after the close, so a miner holding tickets
could withhold blocks until one made them win, the active Electrum server could pick which
real block was used by not announcing another (a failed corroboration even moved the draw to
the next block), and the participant order was the server-only `broadcast_at` with no
tie-break, so nobody could recompute the result.
- Open: every round gets a 32-byte `server_seed`, stored only Fernet-encrypted with the
master-xprv key (`server_seed_enc`), with its published `server_seed_hash`;
`draw_confirmations` is copied from round_config. The plaintext column is written only by
the reveal.
- Entering `drawing` (one transaction, `draw_committed` audit row): participants ordered by
bet txid, each `draw_position`, `participants_hash` (sha256 of `txid:vout:address\n`
lines; new `bet_vout`), `draw_height = tip_at_close + 1`. A tip of 0 keeps the round
`closing` (`draw_baseline_tip_unknown`, once per round). All persisted, so a resumed draw
reads rather than recomputes (the `_tick` branch itself is B-81).
- `_complete_draw` / `_wait_for_draw_block` replace `_wait_for_next_block`: wait for
`draw_confirmations` blocks from `draw_height`, then `ElectrumListener.agreed_block_hash`
asks every server, the active one included, for the header at that exact height (valid
work, >= 2 other answers, strict majority of all); no agreement means the same height is
asked again and `draw_header_corroboration_failed` is written once per distinct reported
hash. `draw_stalled` now counts from the last tip advance, or from when the quorum started
to fail. Seed = sha256(server_seed || block_hash || participants_hash), index = seed mod n.
- The winner, the seed and the reveal (`server_seed`, `winner_drawn` payload) are written in
one transaction; a round closing with no participants reveals too. A round opened before
this change (no commitment) is given a secret as it enters `drawing`.
- `GET /rounds/{id}/proof` (public, 404 `round_not_found`, translated in all 7 languages) and
the new fields on `GET /rounds/current`; `draw_confirmations` in `/admin/config` and the
/admin form; `server_seed_hash`/`draw_height` in `/admin/rounds`, never the secret.
- Alembic d3e8b15a7c42 (plain add_column / create_index, expression indexes untouched).
- Docs: the B-73 `*Stato:*`/`*Oggi:*` lines are gone, guides and CLAUDE.md describe the new
draw. Ambiguities resolved in api.md: the proof's participants also carry `amount_sats`
(RND-37 lists it); `seed` is decimal in the proof and hex in the audit row, as specified.
Tests changed because the spec changed: ElectrumListener.corroborate_header (asked only the
other servers about the block the active one announced) is replaced by agreed_block_hash and
its quorum tests ported; draw_winner takes the secret and the list fingerprint; the four
_wait_for_next_block scheduler tests are replaced by _wait_for_draw_block ones (fixed height,
confirmations, same-height retry, stall clock). New: test_draw_proof.py recomputes the winner
independently from the public proof, checks the plaintext secret is nowhere in the database,
the API or the log before the reveal, and that a second pass over a `drawing` round yields
the same winner. Mutation-checked: ordering by broadcast_at, an early reveal and asking the
tip instead of the draw height each fail tests.

A reorganisation was neither recorded nor acted upon, and a competing header at the tip's
own height was ignored for as long as the tip stood, leaving the listener on an orphan.
- A header at the height we hold with a different hash is followed through the same
fork-point search as any other reorg (ELC-09) instead of being ignored; it still has to
bring valid work and a connected chain.
- ElectrumListener._record_reorg writes `chain_reorg_detected` (depth, fork height, old and
new tip height and hash) before the window moves, so a failed write ends the session and
the next server's announcement of the same fork is recorded then. Depth 1 is a
transaction of its own; depth >= 2 also pauses the lottery with paused_reason 'reorg'
and writes `lottery_paused` in the same transaction (begin_immediate first).
- Docs: ELC-09/22/23/24, AUD-03/11/38, DAT-30/69, OPS-30, RND-04, ADR-26/52 lose their
B-85 "da implementare" lines.
Tests changed because the spec changed: test_apply_header_ignores_a_competing_header_at_
the_current_tip_height encoded the B-64 behaviour that ELC-09 now reverses; it is replaced
by test_a_competing_header_at_the_tip_height_is_a_reorg_to_follow and the depth tests.

A header only had to meet the target it declared for itself, so a fabricated one with
`bits = 0x207fffff` passed half the time, a jump of several blocks was accepted without
being linked to the tip (a fake header at a huge height locked `tip_height` and froze every
draw), and an ordinary one-block reorganisation closed the session on every server.
- draw.py: MAINNET_POW_LIMIT (00000000ffff...ffff); header_meets_its_own_target also
refuses a claimed target easier than POW_LIMIT.
- ElectrumListener._apply_header is async and takes the active client. A single block must
chain by prev_hash; a jump downloads the headers in between (blockchain.block.headers,
at most 2016 per request, ElectrumClient.get_block_headers) and each must carry valid
work and chain, otherwise HeaderValidationError ends the session.
- The listener keeps the last 10 headers (`_window`), built from the process's first header
and its 9 predecessors (which must chain into it). A header that does not join the tip is
walked back to its fork point inside the window and the server's branch is followed
instead of ending the session; a fork older than the window, or a branch that does not
end at the announced header, still ends it. The audit row and the pause for deep reorgs
are B-85; a competing header at the tip's own height is still ignored until then.
- _header_at also serves older heights from the window.
Tests changed because the spec changed: the mainnet powLimit cannot be mined in a test, so
tests/unit/conftest.py swaps in a regtest limit at import time (the new tests put the real
one back); the _apply_header tests are async; the two _run_once tests serve the first
header's 9 predecessors; test_apply_header_skips_linkage_check_across_a_height_gap is
replaced by the jump tests, since that behaviour is exactly what the finding removed.

An empty ELECTRUM_FALLBACK_SERVERS (the .env.example default) silently made every
corroboration pass, and with fallbacks the majority was taken over whoever
answered, so one reachable fallback decided alone. TLS certificates were never
checked.
- _corroborate_majority passes only with at least 2 answers (MIN_QUORUM_RESPONSES)
and a strict majority of the answers; no other server configured, or fewer than
2 answering, fails. ALLOW_NO_QUORUM=true keeps the old reduced rule.
- config.validate_quorum_servers, called from the lifespan after parse_endpoints,
refuses to start with fewer than 2 fallback servers unless ALLOW_NO_QUORUM=true
(which logs a warning at every start).
- Optional pinning: `host:port[:mode]:pin=<sha256>` per fallback and
ELECTRUM_CERT_PIN for the primary; ElectrumClient compares the SHA-256 of the
DER certificate after the TLS handshake and a mismatch fails like an unreachable
server. A pin on a plaintext entry is a startup error.
- .env.example now ships the four bootstrap servers and documents both new
variables; docs/setup.md, spec, storico and BUGS.md updated.
- Tests changed because the spec changed: the two "no other servers configured ->
True" corroboration tests now assert that outcome only under allow_no_quorum.
Note: a dev .env with fewer than 2 fallback servers will now refuse to start.

All bets of all rounds paid one address (m/84'/746'/0'/1/0), so its history
grew forever, other rounds' money and stray coins mixed with a round's own, and
the payout picked from everything it held.
- hd.py: derive_pool_key/derive_pool_address(round_id) on branch 2
(m/84'/746'/0'/2/<round_id>); no argument is the reserve address 1/0.
derive_round_pool_key checks the key against the address stored on the round,
so a payout can never be signed for money its key does not control.
- rounds.pool_address (migration 477bddae1a84, existing rounds backfilled with
the reserve address since that is where their bets went; add_column, not a
batch alter, so the expression indexes stay): written in the transaction that
inserts the round, once its id exists.
- place_bet pays round.pool_address; the payout reads, signs and takes change at
the round's own address; own_address_for and bump_fee's _signing_context follow
the round (confirmation poller and reconciler pass round_id).
- Withdrawals to any round pool address, the reserve address or fee_address are
refused (withdrawal_to_platform_address, 400, all seven languages).
- GET /rounds/current and GET /admin/rounds expose pool_address.
- RND-22/DAT-11 stay "da implementare" for B-82: the payout still spends every
confirmed coin at the round's address, not only the participants' outpoints
(participants carry no bet_vout yet).
- tests/unit/conftest.py: every test now gets a throwaway master key. Opening a
round derives an address, and tests that merely opened a round were silently
reading the real key from the local .env.
- Existing tests changed because the spec changed: payout fixtures give their
round a pool_address; the reconciler's address-cache test uses two payouts of
one round (rows of different rounds no longer share an address);
own_address_for now takes the round id.

- Add docs/README.md as the index of all documentation.
- Split the 52 DEC entries of decisioni-e-limiti.md into docs/adr/ADR-NN
files (same numbers), add ADR-53 (audit log), TEMPLATE.md and an ADR index
with a feature -> ADR table.
- Rename decisioni-e-limiti.md to limiti-noti.md (LIM only) and rewrite all
DEC-nn references as links to the ADRs.
- Document the docs-first / SSOT / ADR rules in processo-di-modifica.md and
map the docs in CLAUDE.md and README.md.

pysqlite's legacy mode emitted BEGIN only at the first DML, so every read
before it ran outside any transaction and a lock wait surfaced as "database is
locked" at an arbitrary later statement; place_bet also mistook that error for
a write-snapshot conflict, which SQLite cannot produce.
- _register_sqlite_pragmas: synchronous=FULL, isolation_level=None and a
`begin` event that emits BEGIN / BEGIN IMMEDIATE.
- begin_immediate(session): takes the write lock before the first read; called
first thing in place_bet, request_withdrawal, the scheduler transitions,
_trigger_payout, the confirmation poller, the reconciler, bump_fee's persist
phase, deposit crediting / external-spend marking / reinstating, and the
derivation-index allocation at registration.
- A lock not granted before a broadcast answers service_busy (503, all seven
languages), nothing built or sent; after a broadcast nothing is undone, the
rows stay `building` for the reconciler.
- Spec, storico, BUGS.md and CLAUDE.md updated; 37 new tests on a real file DB.

Finishes what 88221b0 started: sicurezza.md, audit-log.md and storico-bug.md
now describe the target behaviour too, the operator guides are corrected
against today's code, and api.md gains the missing /health/ready and
/admin/electrum sections plus every new error code in its catalog.
Harmonised names and owners across documents (the `resurrected_tx` pause
reason, the reconciler as the one that watches failed rows, the full
`winner_drawn` payload, a reason for an unanswered pre-payout pool check,
one corroboration-failure row per hash instead of one per tick).
Adds B-98 (coin selection stops at the first covering UTXO and refuses a
payable bet), tightens RND-40 to check both 1 and 400 participants and to
guard PUT /admin/config, and gives a stalled `closing` round a signal
(TX-29, closing_stalled).
Records three decisions confirmed on 2026-09-29: the draw's server_seed is
stored Fernet-encrypted until revealed (SEC-56, DAT-64), the chosen abuse
and key-check thresholds (SEC-49, SEC-54, SEC-55), and a broadcast
rejection is verified against every server before any coin is released,
so matching "already known" text is a shortcut, not a safety condition
(TX-04).
Spec only; no code changed.

The two Mermaid diagrams under flowchart/ described the intended flow but
had drifted from the code and carried no link back to it. docs/ now holds
the specification instead: 15 Italian documents (flows, architecture, data
model, API, security, audit log, operations, decisions and limits, bug
history) with 472 numbered requirements, each pointing at the function
that implements it and the test that covers it. docs/processo-di-modifica.md
defines the ID convention and the spec -> code -> test change workflow, and
CLAUDE.md now names docs/ as authoritative.
Writing the spec from the code also corrected stale claims in CLAUDE.md
(B-41's get_history check, BUGS.md still tracking B-71/B-72, Cache-Control
scope, the error contract's bare-string exceptions) and in the operator
guides (payouts do retry, only `drawing` fails to resume, rounds do not
open without fee_address). The B-70 doc test now pins the prose in
docs/scommesse-e-prelievi.md instead of the deleted diagram.
